I created this scarf with my beginner students in mind. It's a very simple pattern consisting of joining "patches" of single and double crochet into strips and embellish any way that you want!

One of my students suggested that, instead of making separate Patches, just make the strips alternating the single and double crochet stitch rows, and if your using different colours, just join the yarn at the end of the patch and make the strips as long as desired.

I thought that this would also make a great "stash busting" project because I thought that this would look quite whimsical in multiple colours and textures. I feel that you don't need to follow my exact gauge either, as long as every patch is the same or similar size, you're good to go!

Worsted weight yarn – approx. 8 oz –
(anywhere from 1 to 32 colors, if you wish.
This is a great “stash-buster” project if you do each patch in a different color)
Size H/5.00mm hook, or as needed for gauge
Tapestry needle
Optional: Pins to hold strips together for seaming, additional yarn, any weight or embroidery floss for embellishments in contrasting colors, any other embellishments as desired

Approx. 72” (The length can be varied by making more or less of the patches, keeping the patch count an even number)

Single crochet (patch A) – 4 sc = 1” & 3 rows = 1”
Double crochet (patch B) – 4 dc = 1” & 2 rows = 1”
Patch A – 3” x 3 ¼ “
Patch B – 6” x 3 ¼ “

Leave 1 tail long, at least 6 inches, on every patch, for sewing patches together later.

Patch A (Single crochet patch) make 16 for 72” scarf:
Chain (Ch) 13
Row 1: Single crochet (Sc) in 2nd chain (ch) from hook and in each chain (ch) across (12 single crochet)
